Jeremiah 31:9

“Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Israel is My son, My firstborn.

“On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud,

“I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

He led them by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city.

Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy.

“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, In paths they do not know I will guide them. I will make darkness into light before them And rugged places into plains. These are the things I will do, And I will not forsake them.”

Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me about the things that are to come concerning My sons, And you shall commit to Me the work of My hands.

Who led them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble;

“Have you not just now called to Me, ‘My Father, You are the close companion of my youth?

“In those days and at that time,” declares Yahweh, “the sons of Israel will come, both they and the sons of Judah as well; they will go along weeping as they go, and it will be Yahweh their God they will seek.

Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king; and they will come in dread to Yahweh and to His goodness in the last days.

“Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?
